Leaders from the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on July 1 worked with
officials from the Republic of Korea to speed up the implementation of a
technology nursery which is expected to be operational by 2015 in the
city.
The construction of the 21-million-USD project was
kickstarted in November last year at the Tra Noc industrial park with an
area of 12,000 square meters.
It aims to build a research
and development centre for farm produce and seafood processing and
mechanical enginerering industries.
This will not only help
the region promote its agriculture advantage but also support farmers to
access advanced technology for high-quality products.
Managing director of the project Kim Hee Sup said the RoK will set up a
Mekong Delta research institute in the country to promote exchanges
between experts and students of the two sides.
Vice Chairman
of the Can Tho People’s Committee Truong Quang Hoai Nam said the city
welcomes and will give full legal support for Korean businesses to
register for operation there.-VNA
